North bests South in Senior All-Star Game
The Bayside North topped the Bayside South 20-3 in the Eastern Shore Bowl on Saturday afternoon in Viking Stadium at Cambridge High School.
The South got on the board first, when a 38 yard field goal by Bennett Linebacker Drew Mengason went through the uprights late in the first quarter. The North would respond with a scoring drive that culminated with Nate Lowe of Cambridge hitting Anton Black of North Caroline with an 18 yard touchdown strike. Kent County quarterback Stevie Curran would nail a 40 yard field goal just before half, to give the North a 10-3 lead going into the break.
Curran would nail another field goal from 41 yards out, to give the North a 2 score lead with 12:50 remaining in the 4th. Parkside running back Tra’jon Branch would cough the ba up at the North’s 6 yard line, prompting the North to go on a long, clock eating drive, resulting in a 10 yard JoJo Marasco touchdown run, to put the South ahead 20-3.
Drew Mengason was named offensive MVP of the South with his field goal, while Kenny Jackson of North Caroline (20 carries, 113 yards) took home honors for the North.
On defense, Parkside’s Rodney Dawson took home MVP honors in the South with 14 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and a pass defended. For the North, Emory Wongus of Cambridge was named MVP with 9 tackles and 1 tackle for loss.
